Had another visit to Madera Kubo B&B, Madera Canyon, AZ and got this American Robin. He was stuck amongst a raft of tangled branches, and I broke my pact with myself not to do major manipulation with PS anymore because this was the second Robin I had photographed in over a year. So I manufactured a complete new background in an attempt to salvage a half decent photograph. The devil made me do it. :eek:

Tisk, tisk, tisk Uncle...there you go again making packs with the devil...hehehe...:D
I like the composition. The head angle is good, you have sharp details. and I do like that background. The color rendition is very good...congrats...:cool:
you can tell it was manipulated a bit. got a 3D look to it. wondering what a little gaussian blur around the fringe of the bird would do....????? might make it blend a little better.
you did well considering the light was coming from the wrong side!!!
